"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny
sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most
oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent
moral busybodies.
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at
some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end
for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." —C. S. Lewis
(1898–1963)

“I predict future happiness
for Americans if they can prevent the
government

—Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson

“Immigrants soon find their place in urban
life, they soon adopt, externally, town manners and opinions, but for a
long time they remain foreign to civic thought. One cannot make a
social philosophy one’s own as easily as a new costume. . . More
menacing than barbarians storming the walls from without are the
seeming citizens within – those who are citizens in gesture,
but not
in thought.”
—Ludwig von Mises, Socialism: An Economic and Sociological
Analysis, p. 38 (1922)

safeguards of
individual freedom as the striving after this mirage of social
justice.”

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, of infinite
importance.
The one thing it cannot be is moderately important." — C.S. Lewis

To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil,

"Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a
reward,
an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means
of a negative,
by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction.
The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear."

There is No New DealJonah GoldbergWhat
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has thrust upon our national conversation is
not, in any sense, a "Green New Deal." It does not resemble a Green New
Deal. It does not approximate a Green New Deal. It does not so much as
represent the shadows or the framework or the embryo of a Green New
Deal. It is, instead, the inchoate shopping list of a political novice
who has managed to get herself elected to Congress and believes that
this has turned her into a visionary.The Russia Collusion Thud Heard 'Round the WorldMark EllisThe
villains in this ignominious episode are too numerous to mention, but
certain names rattle off: Comey, Brennan, Clapper et al. harped
incessantly with assertions and implications that are in grave danger
of being exposed as outright lies. The mincing visage of Peter Strzok,
the harridan Nellie Orr and the rest, now forever associated with
nefarious surreptitiousness.

Job Openings Hit Record High of 7.3 Million in DecemberThe
number of job openings hit a record high of 7.3 million in December,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday in a sign of the labor
market's strength. The private sector drove the new record, with
private entities accounting for 6.7 million job vacancies – also a
record high. The construction industry recorded 382,000 new posts, far
more than ever before.

McCabe Says Rosenstein was 'absolutely serious' About Secretly Recording TrumpMcCabe,
speaking to CBS News' "60 Minutes," recounted a conversation soon after
Comey's firing about the ongoing Russia investigation in which he said
Rosenstein told him: "I never get searched when I go into the White
House. I could easily wear a recording device. They wouldn't know it
was there." "Now, he was not joking," McCabe said of Rosenstein's
comments. "He was absolutely serious. And in fact, he brought it up in
the next meeting we had."McCabe Details Central Role in Russia Probes, DOJ Meetings on Whether to Oust PresidentFormer
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, speaking out in a new book and TV
interview, detailed the central role he played in the bureau's Russia
probe and the eventual appointment of a special counsel – while
reportedly describing Justice Department meetings where officials
discussed ousting President Trump.

Alan Dershowitz: Ousting Trump via 25th Amendment is'clearly an attempt at a coup d'etat'Harvard
Law professor Alan Dershowitz on Thursday said the Department of
Justice's discussions to employ the 25th Amendment to oust President
Trump – if true – amounted to an attempted coup. Evoking the 25th
Amendment, Dershowitz added, would be a fundamental misuse of its
original purpose. He said it was originally "about Woodrow Wilson
having a stroke. It's about a president being shot and not being able
to perform his office."

Graham Calls McCabe Comments 'beyond stunning' As He Threatens to Subpoena Former FBI Chief"We're
going to find out what happened here and the only way I know to find
out is to call the people in under oath and find out, through

is beyond stunning," Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, said on CBS News’ "Face the Nation." Graham added that he
also plans to subpoena both McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein if they won’t voluntarily agree to testify before the
committee.

Legal Immigrant Angel Mom in Pelosi’s Office: Why Are Illegal Aliens ‘Placed in Front of Us?’Angel
Families flooded into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office Wednesday
questioning why their many requests for meetings with the speaker went

illegal aliens “always get a better deal” than American citizens.
“Before I came from Germany to America, I had to fill out paperwork,”
Durden explained. “And I was married to a service member. My son was
born here–all that.”

Cuomo Slams Ocasio-Cortez, Others, As Amazon Ditches New YorkNew
York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lambasted politicians such as Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and others over Amazon's decision to leave New York City.
Opponents of the deal with the tech giant had "put their own narrow
political interests above their community," he said. In response to the
news, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist,
tweeted that "anything is possible," taking a victory lap upon hearing
the news.Maloney (D) Slams Ocasio-Cortez's Opposition to Amazon: 'Now We are Protesting Jobs?'"My
constituents want jobs," Maloney said. "It used to be that we would
protest wars. Now we are protesting jobs? People are complaining about
jobs coming to your [city] … If this had gone through, it would have
made overnight New York City the high-tech capital of the east coast,
the most important job center for tech jobs."Amazon Quits New York – 'Victory' by Progressives Helps City Wave Good-Bye to 25,000 JobsSeth BarronAmazon's
announcement that it will cancel its plans to build a major office
complex in Long Island City is a huge defeat for Governor Cuomo and
Mayor de Blasio, who staked their political capital on the high-profile
deal. The collapse of the deal is a victory, though, for the
anti-gentrification, anti-development left, which assailed the plan as
a giveaway to a trillion-dollar company and its billionaire owner.How Dumb is Ocasio-Cortez?John HinderakerThis
isn't complicated stuff. If Ocasio-Cortez is really this stupid, she
shouldn't have graduated from high school. She certainly shouldn't be
representing many thousands of constituents, who must assume that she
is of at least average intelligence, in Congress.

Union Leaders Warn Green New Deal May Lead to Poverty: 'Members are worried about putting food on the table'Labor
unions are warning that the "Green New Deal" proposed by Democratic New
York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is vague and potentially dangerous,
signaling that the progressive proposal may be in for even more
turbulence following a rocky rollout last week. In particular, union
officials took umbrage at the resolution's call for a "fair and just
transition for all communities and workers" in order to "achieve
net-zero greenhouse gas emissions" in the span of just ten years.

McCarthy questioned whether Schiff, a California Democrat, should
recuse himself from the Intelligence panel’s Russia investigation
because of a meeting he had with Simpson at the Aspen Security Forum in

Democrats Turn on Ilhan Omar After She Targets Pro-Israel Group AIPACRep.
Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was condemned Sunday by fellow Democrats after she
accused a pro-Israel lobbying group of paying lawmakers in exchange for
influence. The latest controversy engulfing the freshman lawmaker
centered on tweets she sent reacting to journalist Glenn Greenwald
criticizing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for
threatening punishment against Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.,
over their criticisms of Israel.Ilhan Omar Controversy: Where Does She Get Her Views?Nancy Hartevelt KobrinAs
Hamas was attacking Israel in 2012 and bombarding its civilian
population with Grad and Qassam rockets, Ilhan Omar – who was recently
elected to Congress (D-MN) – tweeted "Israel has hypnotized the world,
may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evils of Israel."
During her campaign, she defended that statement, saying it was not
anti-Semitic. "Drawing attention to the apartheid Israeli regime is far
from hating Jews," she declared. Israel an apartheid state? Israel is
evil? Where did she get these views?Rep. Ilhan Omar Whines That Criticizing Her Anti-Semitism is – Wait for It – RacistDaniella Greenbaum Davis If
it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, apparently it's not a
duck. In fact, we're all a bunch of racists for even suggesting it
might be. That's the kind of insane mental gymnastics in which Ilhan
Omar, Tamika Mallory, and Linda Sarsour would like us all to engage.Media is Hiding Fact That Rep. Omar is a Tiny Part of Democrat's Jew-HatredJeff DunetzThe
media is not being honest about the story of Rep. Omar's Antisemitism,
and downplaying the Democratic Party's Jew-hatred. Some are claiming
that she is being ostracized because all she is doing is presenting a
pro-Palestinian view, or the Democratic Party's Jew-hatred is a
relatively new thing or even that it is limited to a few freshmen
Democrats in Congress. Here's the truth the media isn't telling you
about.

Antifa Activist Charged with Assault on Marines Tied to Key Dem Policymakers, Including Maxine WatersThe
violent domestic terrorist group Antifa has always been seen by
skeptics as an extension of the Democratic Party, and while that may be
too broad a generalization, it's now clear members of the group are
linked to key Democratic policymakers. Joseph Alcoff is in court this
week facing charges of aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation for
allegedly being part of an Antifa mob that attacked two Marines in
November, according to Fox News.

Why is Britain’s Richest Man – Sir Jim Ratcliffe – Moving to Monaco? Ask Ayn RandJames DelingpoleRatcliffe is leaving Britain, in other words, for the same reason all the wealth creators in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged

value and be rewarded for their efforts. It’s amazing, not to say
astonishingly depressing, how many people there are in Britain right

Hungary Offers Mothers Tax Break in Move to Counter Population DeclineHungarian
mothers with four children or more will never have to pay taxes again,

Brothers Say Jussie Smollett Paid Them to Participate in Alleged AttackA
source close to the investigation confirms to CBS News the brothers
told detectives Smollett paid them to participate in the alleged attack
on January 29 and that they purchased the rope – which was found around
Smollett's neck – at a nearby hardware store. The source said
detectives have evidence to corroborate the sale, something the men's
attorney alluded to Friday night.Will They Retract?Pelosi, 2020 Dems, Liberal Groups Believed Jussie Smollett Hate HoaxTyler O'NeilThe
police statement confirmed growing suspicions about Smollett's story as

themselves. Will they retract their statements about the trend of
"hate" Smollett's attack revealed?

Gay Mayor Accused of Sexual Harassment As #MeToo Reckoning Comes to West HollywoodFor
years, Mayor John Duran has been a public avatar for West Hollywood’s
cheekily sexual culture. From the City Council dais, he joked about

named Booty Call to Action. But he was also accused by another
councilman of looking for sex on the dating app Grindr during public
meetings.

NY: Bronx Lawmaker Says City Council 'controlled' by Homosexual Community, Refuses to ApologizeCity
Council member Ruben Diaz Sr. said Sunday that he'd rather give up his
powerful committee assignments than apologize to openly gay Speaker

is "controlled by the homosexual community."

UN IPCC Scientist Blows Whistle on Lies About Climate, Sea LevelThe

decade.

The Nazification of the
DemocratsRobert MillerIn
America's current political climate, Democrats are making frequent use
of terms they understand poorly at best. To silence debate and
criticism, Democrats routinely employ labels such as "Fascist," "Nazi,"
or "racist" to shut down and intimidate their political targets.
Ironically, however, as Democrats engage this way they are quickly
adopting the very characteristics of those groups they supposedly
despise

Yes, Democrats DID Start
the Ku Klux Klan
(and it's still the party of racism)Joe Jarvis Yet
Politifact confirms that the Democratic Party honored the first Grand
Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan when he spoke at the 1868 Democratic
National Convention, shortly after the Klan was founded. Which brings
us back to the original question, did Democrats start the KKK? Yes! It
was founded as a political organization to intimidate black and
Republican voters in the south during reconstruction after the Civil
War.

House GOP Plans Sustained Effort to
Expose Leftist Democrats on AbortionRepublicans–as
they have demonstrated for three consecutive legislative days–intend to
push for a floor vote against Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s wishes on
a piece of legislation from Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO) that would ensure
babies who are born alive following an abortion attempt are given the
same medical treatment and care any other newborn baby would receive.

House Democrats Once Again Block
Bill
Protecting Infants Born Alive After Abortion House
Democrats have twice refused now to take up the Born Alive Abortion
Survivors Protection Act for consideration. The measure is "designed to
ensure any infant born alive after an abortion receives the same
protection of law as any newborn: mandating care and instituting
penalties for doctors who allow such infants to die or who
intentionally kill a newborn," according to a statement from the office
of its sponsor Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO).

Baby Body Parts in 'humanized mice'
Experiments
ACLJ Demands Documentation of 'abhorrent Practice' by HHSThe
American Center for Law and Justice has submitted to the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease a Freedom of Information
Act a request for documentation of its "humanized mice" program, which
uses the body parts of aborted babies for "HIV therapeutics
development." "First, the creation of mice with human immune systems is
horrific enough, but that these mice are being created using the body
parts of innocent babies is unthinkable," the organization said Tuesday.

Big Trump Win: Tax Cuts Trigger
Exxon Mobil to Invest
Whopping $10 Billion in America's InfrastructureLast
January, Woods acknowledged that the tax reform law passed by President
Trump and the GOP Congress had stimulated Exxon Mobil's investment. He
said, "At ExxonMobil, we plan to invest more than $50 billion over the
next five years to expand our business in the United States. These
investments are underpinned by the unique strengths of our company and
enhanced by the historic tax reform recently signed into law."

U.S. Trade Deficit
Narrows Much More Than Expected in a Win for TrumpThe
U.S trade deficit with its global partners fell in November for the
first time after five straight months of increases as the shortfall
with China and several other countries declined. Tightening the balance
between imports and exports has been a major goal of the Trump
administration, which last year started levying tariffs in an effort to
close the gap.

Nancy Pelosi Keeps Quoting Her
Favorite Bible Verse.
The Mystery: It's Not Actually in the Bible.Nancy
Pelosi addressed a gathering of presidents of Christian colleges this
week in Washington, where she thanked the evangelical community for its
leadership on immigration and refugee policy reform. To this end, the
speaker of the House quoted a favorite bit of biblical wisdom in her
opening statement: "To minister to the needs of God's creation is an
act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made
us."

Joe Biden Once Said Democrats
Needed 'a liberal George Wallace'During
1987 fundraising trips across the South for his unsuccessful 1988
presidential bid, he sought to appeal to white voters, telling
audiences that he had received an award from Wallace in 1973 and that
the segregationist had lauded him as "one of the outstanding young
politicians of America."

Trump Tower Collusion Storyline
BackfiresJulie KellyIt
could be the most investigated and costliest 20-minute meeting in
political history. I'm talking, of course, about the infamous June 9,
2016 encounter between top Trump campaign associates – including the
president's son and namesake – and Russian surrogates. The prodigious
amount of time and energy devoted to analyzing that brief confab, which
allegedly represented the vertex of the Kremlin and Team Trump, never

Sheriffs Warn ICE Could Be Forced

to letters sent to House and Senate lawmakers on Friday, the National
Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) and the Major Country Sheriffs of America
claim that if ICE is forced to release detainees, over 8,300 criminal
illegals will be sent to the streets and potentially lost to the
administrative and judicial systems. The brokered agreement would
mandate that ICE can hold no more than 16,500 people at a time.

EU: Going Full OrwellJudith BergmanThe
EU has launched a comprehensive Action Plan against Disinformation. Its

Campaign Cash to
Company Owned by Aide's WifeDemocratic
representative Gregory Meeks (N.Y.) pushed tens of thousands more to a

New York district office, Federal Election Commission filings show.
Meeks additionally used more than $20,000 in funds from his committee
on lease and car expenses for a Lexus and Mercedes-Benz, both of which
are marked as campaign vehicles, and lined the pockets of close
consultants despite not having a real challenger in a number of years.

Defining 'culture of
corruption'

Venezuela Moves to Replace U.S.
Executives on Citgo BoardCitgo
is facing unprecedented challenges to its finances and management after
the U.S. government last week imposed tough sanctions on Petroleos de
Venezuela designed to prevent oil revenue from going to leftist
President Nicolas Maduro. The United States and dozens of other nations
have refused to recognize Maduro, viewing his reelection last year to
another six-year term as fraudulent.

U.S. Refiner Citgo Emerges as Key
to Venezuela’s Power BattleU.S.
refiners like Citgo are among the few customers paying cash for
Venezuelan crude. Oil shipments to Venezuela’s other big customers,
China and Russia, are usually taken as repayment for billions of
dollars in debt. So the cash from Citgo has become a lifeline over the
past two years as Venezuela’s oil output has plummeted amid chronic
underinvestment in PDVSA and oil prices have dropped from historic
highs.

Mysterious Turkish Firm Helped
Maduro Move $900 Million in GoldTwo
months after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro visited his
counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, a mysterious company called
Sardes sprang into existence. The firm started business with a bang in
January of 2018, when it imported about $41 million worth of gold from
Venezuela, the first such transaction between the two countries in
records that go back 50 years. The next month its volume more than
doubled, with Sardes transporting almost $100 million worth to Turkey.

Tunisian court has sentenced seven jihadists to life in prison over
attacks at a museum and on a beach in 2015 that killed 60 people, many

defendants faced two separate trials over the closely linked shootings,
which occurred just months apart in Tunis and Sousse, but many were
acquitted.

RNC Requests Texas Bar 'Discipline'

Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel filed a complaint asking that the Texas state
bar discipline Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) for "lying" on her
registration in 1986 when she said her race was "American Indian."
"Attorney Warren should be disciplined for lying and failing to correct
a misrepresentation she made on her Texas Bar registration card,"
McDaniel wrote. McDaniel reproduced sections of the Texas Disciplinary
Rules of Professional Conduct to emphasize her claim.

Democrats' Inexorable
Abortion Logic Has Finally Caught Up with ThemJohn Daniel DavidsonThis
week, Democrats finally succumbed to the inescapable logic of abortion.
They have admitted, perhaps against their better judgement, that there
really is no difference between abortion and infanticide. Now at last
the pretense has lifted and we can talk about what we should have been
talking about for the past 46 years: whether parents have the right to
commit infanticide against their unwanted children.

Even with a Shutdown:
America Created 304,000 Jobs in January, Smashing EstimatesJob
creation was widespread across the economy with hospitality,
healthcare, construction, and transportation all recording a strong
month. The only major sector to shed jobs was information services such
as media and entertainment. The federal government was shut down for
the survey period covered by the January jobs report. But the Labor
Department said it had no effect on jobs creation.

France, the chief executive of Nascar, and the investor Howard Lorber,
the New York Times reported, citing two people

"Has anyone heard from Adam Schiff?" Trump Jr. tweeted. "I imagine he's

Virginia Gov. Northam Faces
Backlash for Comments on
3rd-Trimester Abortion Bill: 'Morally Repugnant'Democratic
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam came under fire Wednesday after he waded
into the fight over a controversial abortion bill that one sponsor said
could allow women to terminate a pregnancy up until the moment before
birth – with critics saying Northam indicated a child could be killed
after birth. Northam, whose office is now pushing back on those claims,
appeared on WTOP to discuss The Repeal Act, which seeks to repeal
restrictions on third-trimester abortions.

Fifth Circuit Panel: Center for

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit released an opinion in Planned
Parenthood of Greater Texas Family Planning and Preventative Health

general foes of Planned Parenthood.

Congratulations Anti-Vaxxers,
You've Made Measles Great AgainInvestor's Business DailyWhile
Midwest states declare emergencies because of the deadly polar vortex,
Washington state just declared a state of emergency for another deadly,
but entirely man-made reason. A measles outbreak caused by the
dangerously misguided anti-vax campaign. Eighteen years ago, the
Centers for Disease Control declared that the U.S. had eradicated
measles. While the occasional case still showed up, they mostly
involved noncitizens coming to the U.S.

Trump Gets NATO Allies to Pony Up

American press howled when President Donald John Trump demanded NATO
allies keep their word and devote 2% of their GDP to the defense of
their nations. But President Trump succeeded because he was right and
the press was wrong. Again. Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, praised our president for
getting our allies to keep their word.

American journey from energy dependence to independence has been a
riveting tale. Marked by geopolitical tensions, gasoline shortages, and
human ingenuity, the country's rise to global energy powerhouse has

Carter. Even in a seesawing international market and a toxic
environment, the United States continues to make history – and it's
just getting started.

The Absolute Uncertainty of Climate
ScienceRobert ZimmermanEven
as the United States is being plunged right now into an epic cold
spell, and politicians continue to rant about the coming doom due to
global warming, none of the data allows anyone the right to make any
claims about the future global climate, in any direction. Why do I feel
so certain I can make this claim of uncertainty? Because the data
simply isn't there. And where we do have it, it has been tampered with
so badly it is no longer very trustworthy.Experts Claim Every Kind of Weather

Global Warming Is Fer' RealJohn NolteThis
current Climate Hoaxster freak out is largely in reaction to President
Trump's tweet earlier this week mocking the Climate Hoaxsters. "In the
beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60
degrees, the coldest ever recorded," he tweeted. "What the hell is
going on with Global Warming? Please come back fast, we need you!"

the whole story, there is nary a kind word said about Mrs. Thomas,
while paragraph after paragraph details her supposed flaws – and those

Help Win Release from Thai JailA
Belarusian model, who said she had proof that President Trump's
campaign colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential
election, has now backtracked and says she made up the claims.
Anastasia Vashukevich, who spent months in a Thai jail last year for
organizing sex training seminars, grabbed headlines after saying she
has evidence that Russia worked with Trump's campaign.

he had served as communications director for the past six years. Prior
to that, he worked for Joe Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign.
According to The Huffington Post, House was forced
out because
of inappropriate sexual relationships with Schumer staffers. HuffPo

Democrats are worried about the short-term future of their political
machine after authorities charged a Philadelphia labor leader with
numerous counts of embezzlement, bribery and theft, Politico reports.
John Dougherty, the business manager of Philadelphia’s branch of the
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), and six other
labor officials were indicted on 116 charges related to lavish misuse
of union funds and buying influence with corrupt politicians.

San Francisco – Where Drug Addicts
Outnumber High School StudentsSan
Francisco has more drug addicts than it has students enrolled in its
public high schools... There are about 24,500 injection drug users in
San Francisco – that’s about 8,500 more people than the nearly 16,000
students enrolled in the Unified School District’s 15 high schools and
illustrates the scope of the problem on the city’s streets.

Israel Begins Construction of New
Gaza Border BarrierIsrael
said Sunday that work to strengthen its border with the Gaza Strip had
entered a new phase, with construction starting on a massive new
barrier along the frontier. "Over the weekend we began building the
above-ground barrier along the Gaza border," Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu told journalists before the weekly cabinet meeting. It is set
to follow the 65-kilometre (40-mile) course of an underground barrier
also under construction meant to neutralise the threat of cross-border
tunnels built by Gaza militants.

U. to Methodist Church: Change Your beliefs for InclusivityDuke
University is among the 93 Methodist-affiliated colleges and
universities across the country that brought in the new year by penning
and signing a petition calling on the denomination to embrace LGBTQ+
inclusivity within the church. The petition, which claims that part of
its acceptance should be based on the fact that the church’s “core
religious and humanistic values [are] that all persons are of sacred
worth and equal standing,” was ultimately signed by every attending
member at the National Association of Schools and Colleges of the
United Methodist Church.

can’t even respond to from people all over the country wanting me to
ship them cookies,” said Bellingham on Thursday.

America's Cold Civil WarCharles R. KeslerSix
years ago I wrote a book about Barack Obama in which I predicted that
modern American liberalism, under pressures both fiscal and
philosophical, would either go out of business or be forced to
radicalize. If it chose the latter, I predicted, it could radicalize
along two lines: towards socialism or towards an increasingly
post-modern form of leadership. Today it is doing both.

Harry Reid Exposes
Greatest Liberal Scam of All-TimeWayne Allyn RootWhat's

scam. A Ponzi scheme. Pure fraud. Bernie Madoff couldn't come up with a
better scam. Because the same liberal politicians and donors who scream
about the "racism" and "immorality" and "ineffectiveness" of a wall all
live behind walls.

Bruce Ohr's Testimony on Anti-Trump
Dossier at Odds
With Adam Schiff's VersionSenior
Justice Department official Bruce Ohr has provided a point-by-point
narrative of his actions promoting the 2016 Democratic Party-financed
dossier that conflicts with Rep. Adam B. Schiff's official version,
according to a comparison of the two. Mr. Schiff's rebuttal report
downplayed the dossier's role. His version was overwhelmingly accepted
by the liberal media, which declared the Nunes memo "debunked."

Socialism 'comes right out of the universities.'Jon StreetHome
Depot billionaire co-founder Bernie Marcus said Friday that the growing
appeal to socialism in America comes out of the universities. "They
[Cuba] took a great country. They put it right down the drain in every
way possible," Marcus said. "People are starving to death. Medical
[care] is not available for them. And we have a group of people in
Washington today, new representatives especially, that look at
socialism as the way to go and if you don't think that's dangerous, I
do."

congressional freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., once asked a judge to
show leniency toward a group of Minnesota men accused of trying to join

attitude and approach; if we truly want to effect change, we should

ignoring the fact that the people are starving and the election of
Maduro this past week was a fraud. Also, there is no U.S. coup.

American Revival: 70 Ways President
Trump Has
Changed the Nation Over the Past Two YearsJasper Fakkert, Editor-in-chief, The Epoch
TimesFrom
sweeping tax reform to support for energy production, President Donald
Trump's pro-business policies have boosted the job market, set records
in the stock market, and helped individuals and companies to thrive
again. The economy hit the Trump administration's 3 percent growth
target in the second quarter of 2017 and in the second and the third
quarters of 2018.

69 Media Mistakes in the Trump EraSharyl AtkissonWe
[the media] defend ourselves by trying to convince the public that our
mistakes are actually a virtue because we (sometimes) correct them. Or
we blame Trump for why we're getting so much wrong. It's a little bit
like a police officer taking someone to jail for DUI, then driving home
drunk himself: he may be correct to arrest the suspect, but he should
certainly know better than to commit the same violation.

CO2 and Crops: NAS vs. ScienceDavid BurtonOne
of the most pernicious examples of disinformation promoted by the
Climate Industry is the claim that manmade climate change from CO2
emissions threatens agriculture and "food security." That's the exact
opposite of the truth. CO2 is "plant fertilizer," and hundreds of
agricultural studies have shown that higher CO2 levels are dramatically
beneficial for agriculture, to levels far above what we can ever hope
for outdoors. That's why most commercial greenhouses use "CO2
generators" to raise daytime CO2 to about that [higher] level.

Saved by Pseudo-Renewable Energy?Paul DriessenWind,
solar and biofuel energy is dispersed, weather-dependent, expensive and
land-intensive. Every industrial wind facility, solar installation and
biofuel plantation requires far more land – and far more raw materials
– than their energy-generation-equivalent fossil fuel counterparts. Add
in backup fossil fuel generators or massive battery arrays, and those
impacts become astronomical.

Apologies Roll in for Covington
Catholic School Protesters
As Fuller Picture of Events EmergesIt
was the hate crime of the century. Or so some in the media appeared to
think, judging by the condemnations and mass hysteria that followed
initial footage of a group of Covington Catholic High School students –
some of whom were wearing MAGA hats – supposedly harassing an older
Native American man. Except, what may have seemed to be one thing at
first turned out to be something else altogether:

Journalist Who Called for Death of
Covington Catholic Students
Fired from JobErik
Abriss, who writes for New York Media's Vulture website, said, "I don't
know what it says about me but I've truly lost the ability to
articulate the hysterical rage, nausea, and heartache this makes me
feel. I just want these people to die. Simple as that," he said. "Every
single one of them. And their parents."

Correction:
Nathan Phillips 'Was Never Deployed to Vietnam'In
a January 20 report titled – "'It was getting ugly': Native American
drummer speaks on his encounter with MAGA-hat-wearing teens" – the Post's
Cleve R. Wootson Jr., Antonio Olivo, and Joe Heim erroneously stated
Philips is a veteran of the Vietnam War despite having not been
deployed. On Tuesday, news of the Post's correction
began
circulating on social media. "Earlier versions of this story
incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought
in the Vietnam War.

What the Covington High Schoolers
Taught AmericaSebastian GorkaWhat
is the real lesson of the Covington Catholic School incident last week
at the Lincoln Memorial? Decent Americans are rightly appalled at the
deliberate lies propagated by the "mainstream" media, the knee-jerk
surrender to Leftist narratives by allegedly "conservative"
commentators, and the resultant abuse and death threats hurled at
children and their families since the edited video originally went
viral and was re-reported by an agenda-driven propaganda press.

Texas Says It Found 95,000
Non-Citizens on Voter Rolls;
58,000 Have VotedTexas
Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Friday that the state has
discovered 95,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls going back to 1996,
58,000 of whom have voted in at least one Texas election – an
announcement likely to raise fresh concerns about the prospect of voter
fraud. "Every single instance of illegal voting threatens democracy in
our state and deprives individual Texans of their voice," Paxton said
in a statement.

In Venezuela, Socialism Has
Succeeded the Way It Always DoesWashington Examiner editorialVenezuelans
are now literally losing weight and dying from starvation, and they
have a socialism that was democratic (at least, up until 2015) to thank
for their immiseration. Children are dying from lack of nutrition and
going without medical care because Maduro refuses to scrap his
state-run economic model that produced the disaster. Like the economic
problems it always creates, another essential characteristic of
socialism is this inability to accept blame for creating the problems.

Nancy Pelosi's $2 Million in Travel
Junkets Is Starting to Get NoticedMonica ShowalterNot
only was President Trump's masterly counter-move against House speaker
Nancy Pelosi an expert power play against the speaker's bid to take the

attention to something that doesn't get much attention, the fact that
she's got some Imelda Marcos-style spending habits in state-financed
travel.

that President Trump runs the show in the GOP, the Koch Brothers are
showing their true colors and turning on the party that once buttered
their bread. Because the gravy train is getting cut off, the Kochs are
bailing on Trump for 2020 and hoping that the Democratic challenger
will beat him so they can continue their ruthless profit-seeking
enabled by special government privileges in the marketplace.

Why Term Limits Lost and Ranked
Choice Voting Will SucceedMichael R. ShannonThere
have been two major attempts to change the calculus of elections and
officeholders since the '90s. One is a top down 'reform' that's
currently being imposed on voters a jurisdiction at a time. The other
was a bottom-up effort imposed on the politicians. The fate of the two
is very instructive.

Why Has ‘Morning Joe’ Secretly Been

why the attempts at deception? A followup Page Six article explains
that the Scarboroughs, who currently live in Connecticut, are availing
themselves of a tax dodge, which requires them to spend a certain
amount of their time at their Florida residence in order to derive any
financial benefit. The whole thing is perfectly legal – just
hypocritical.

The Media’s ‘Gotcha!’
Hysteria Is ShamefulMichael GoodwinImagine
that a scientist wanted to conduct an experiment to see if it’s true
that blind hatred of President Trump has led Democrats and their media
handmaidens to go ’round the bend and off the cliff. Such a scientist
would inject a damning – and false – media report about Trump into the
political bloodstream, then observe the reactions. It wouldn’t take
long.

BuzzFeed, Acosta, and
the Non-Existence of JournalismRoger L Simon What
possible credential makes one a journalist? A degree from the Columbia
School of Journalism? Well, that proves your parents can afford a
hundred grand. Either that or you're heavily in debt. Anyone can be a
journalist. All you have to do is start typing. And as for journalists
we know, whether they write it or speak it and wherever they do it,
they're all basically pundits, whether they admit it or not.

Lying Media Shell-Shocked by Robert
Mueller's Fact CheckJohn NolteEveryone
in the establishment media knew BuzzFeed's report about President Trump
suborning perjury from his then-personal attorney, Michael Cohen, was a
lie. What they did not expect was special counsel Robert Mueller
dropping a fact check on them. They all knew it was a lie. How could
they not? To begin with, BuzzFeed admitted it could not verify its own
story. Secondly, the story made absolutely no sense.

Christopher Steele that fueled their probe was biased and likely phony.
Yet instead of investigating those individuals at the FBI and Justice
Department who actively participated in the dossier fraud – as he
should have done – Mueller hired several of them to investigate Trump.

While Democrats Dither Over the
Border Wall,
Deadly Fentanyl Floods Our CommunitiesBeth BaileyOur
border crisis is real. About 90 percent of heroin and 80 percent of
fentanyl in the U.S. is sourced from Mexico. While rehabilitation and
addiction recovery services are a key component of the strategy for
dealing with America’s opioid crisis, we must also address the
porousness of our border. When we fail to keep deadly drugs out of our
country, Americans lose. We lose family members and friends, and the
capacity those people possessed to positively change the world.

some who were conspiring to rustle their comrades across the border and

explained: "It also looks to us like authorities have foiled every
